Chapter 39: Upgrades
With the activation of the power of the system's space, Xiao Qiang opened his eyes again. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info has already returned to his home in the Northern Song Dynasty. It's just the same as when he left the game world, covered in blood and limp to the ground.
With the return of the body, the physical and internal forces that were originally consumed in the game world. It also returned to the body in an instant like a tide. Even some of the knife wounds suffered in the previous battle recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. It's as if nothing has happened. If it weren't for the fact that the blood stains on his clothes were still pungent, Xiao Qiang would have had the illusion that it was a dream.
Although it was the same for the first time, Xiao Qiang was immersed in his sadness at that time, and he didn't feel too obvious. But this time it was different, because of the previous series of battles. The physical exertion on him is too great, and the squeezing injuries are obvious. So in this strange change, the salvation is particularly obvious.
Raising his hand, he felt the strength of his return from weakness. Xiao Qiang turned over and stood up. It seems that there are many other wonders about this system that I have not been exposed to. And Ji Nan didn't even tell himself this at the beginning. It seems that these people can't be trusted. I don't know how much else they have to hide from themselves.
He took a serious look at the room he was in, and sure enough, it was the same as when he left. It was her study in the Northern Song Dynasty. As for why it didn't appear directly in the lobby of the system station, as it did for the first time. Xiao Qiang didn't bother much. However, Xiao Qiang also thought about it more openly, so it was just right. You don't have to let others see the embarrassed figure when you come back directly, if you can settle the task here, you can also better hide your strength.
After Ji Nan's incident, Xiao Qiang also thought more clearly. Although everyone belongs to the same space station, if they are unlucky enough to be assigned to the same difficult game, maybe they will not care if they are from the same space station. For example, the last time the temple escaped.
Although Xiao Qiang did not go into detail about the details, with this experience, Xiao Qiang knew without thinking about it. The two dead people must have been sacrificed on their backs. It's like when I faced two newcomers in the game of Meteor Butterfly Sword, the first thing I thought of was just to use them as cannon fodder on my back. And not a real teammate to look at.
Sometimes, the NPCs in the game are stronger than their friendships. After all, the characters in the game are relatively self-believing. For example, rats, such as Meng Xing's soul.
Thinking of Meng Xing's soul, Xiao Qiang was also very emotional. In fact, in his opinion, the characters in the Meteor Butterfly Sword are all poor people. Each one is a pawn that is swayed by fate.
Including peerless powerhouses like Uncle Sun and King Wanpeng. Not to mention small people like Meng Xingsoul and Xiao He. The task that Meng Xingsoul took over was actually a complete conspiracy.
At first, it was just that Tucheng deliberately got rid of Fan Xuan, in order to blame an old man. So I found the killer of the Happy Forest. And Happy Lin because of the grudge with the Feipeng Gang. So I'm happy to use this to weaken the strength of the Flying Peng Gang.
However, all of this did not escape the eyes of the Sun Mansion and the Feipeng Gang. And later, the slaughter of the city was tacitly approved by King Wanpeng. Although Fan Xuan has been hiding well over the years, the power he has secretly accumulated is also the golden knife gate behind him. It has become a danger to the king of Wanpeng.
So when there was such an opportunity to kill people with a knife, King Wanpeng really turned a blind eye to this. Allowed the slaughter of the city to be done.
So when Fan Xuan finally died, he said such a sentence. Each of them is nothing more than a pawn.
Uncle Sun and King Wanpeng both know the way of management, although the two have been opposed for decades. But none of them really drove the other party away. It is because they know that the situation is peaceful now, and it is best for them. If one side breaks the peace, then the next death period is not far off. So they will not be soft on those who dare to jump out and provoke them or who can upset this balance.
And Xiao Qiang, who knows all this, can only sigh at the helplessness of fate. Everyone is a pawn of fate, including yourself. The only difference is how much you can resist in the face of fate at the mercy of fate.
"The system performs task settlement~!"
didn't feel too much emotion, Xiao Qiang calmed down a little sadly. It directly called out the settlement interface of the task.

As the system was settled, three medals of different colors turned into a ray of light and fell into Xiao Qiang's hand. At the same time, there are experience and points earned from settlement. all appear directly on his character panel.
It's just that the experience is enough, and where the character level changes a little bit. One more upgrade button.
"Character: Xiao Qiang Level 1 (1082/500 XP [Upgrade])
Skills: Basic Firearms Level 2, Basic Sword Skills Level 1, Thunder Knife Technique
Level 2, Phantom Step 1"
Looking at the upgrade undercurrent, Xiao Qiang subconsciously chose to upgrade.
As Xiao Qiang's words fell. As soon as the light arrived, it rose from under his feet and washed him in an instant. The feeling of bathing in the spring breeze is even more penetrating to the heart. Even the fatigue that has come over these days seems to have been swept away. The faintly clenched palm seemed to have more power, and the height of the whole person seemed to have become a little taller.
And when you look at the character panel, it has also changed.
Character: Xiao Qiang Level 1 (582/1000 XP)
Available Skill Points: 1
Skills: Basic Firearms Level 2, Basic Sword Skills Level 1, Thunder Knife Technique
Level 2, Phantom Step 1"
I felt the pleasure of upgrading just now, although it was not particularly obvious for its own improvement, but the feeling of feeling comfortable all over the body. Xiao Qiang was slightly fascinated.
If you say that when you come back from some, Xiao Qiang feels the return of that kind of power. Then the upgrade brings the overall improvement. This kind of improvement is an improvement on the basis of the original. Even the tired mental power has been repaired and improved together.
And the character panel also has a little more skill points. Although Xiao Qiang has not yet used skill points. But just looking at the many skills that have been used many times over such a long time, none of them have reached level three. You know how slow the improvement of skills is.
Xiao Qiang was not in a hurry to use that little skill. Because this time in the game, he clearly felt his shortcomings. With the few skills he has learned now, it is not cost-effective to use these precious skill points rashly.
Look back at the Meteor Butterfly Sword this time. Although the mission was completed in the end, a large part of it was due to luck.
For example, Fan Xuan's death, although Meng Xingsoul's serious injury was first. But it was more the arrival of the later slaughter of the city that solved him. If he only relied on himself, he would basically not be able to accomplish this task.
More importantly, this is just a low-martial world. The highest is only a congenital master. There are no super masters at the grandmaster level. But just such a time has already made him a little overwhelmed. Not to mention the even more terrifying games that will come later.
For example, the next third level of death.
